Hi!! My C.gemmatus female is 11 days old now and she is moving their abdomen up and down and it looks like she has no end eating and eating... she ate 3 mealworm (small ones) and 1 bbf today. Something went wrong?? Should i be worried? Is that the "breeding call"? If it was the breeding time...

There is still 3 subadult ones so i hope i can do it...  How will i know the female is ready to mate?

How oftes should i feed the males and females?

1 females and 2 males in 24h :) I will feed them well and lets see if i can breed them in some days. Its really impresive how their new bodies changed and the really big differences between males and females

One of them molted a few hours ago and one more is ready to go :)

Thank you for the help, i think they are subadults so final molt it could take a little bit more i think. I will send some pics as soon as they molt.

I have some Creobroter gemmatus (6) who loves to eat flies but they are no longer eating them ( 3 of them), they are on the top for like 2/3 days and i dont know if they are getting ready for their final molt... i noticed one of them with something like small "wings" (just from today and...

Maybe im not the most appropiate person to tell it because im new on this, but i hope this dont make you stop keeping mantis because they are wonderfull.  Maybe was really hungry or smell like mealworms maybe... Hope to see you keeping new ones and sharing everything with us!

Many thanks for your help.... that little fierces are always ready to eat, so i hope to not overfeed them :)

Could it be: L5 male L5 male L5 female They are turning greener now

Number 3:

Number 2:

I tried to do some photos of 3 from the 6 creobroter. Can i least know in what L they are? I must be idiot cause i cant count it. Number 1:

I know, but im afraid of them. They try to attack as soon as i open the lid and they run really fast so im afraid they can be hurt. I will post a pic later at least to know in what L they are... haha

Please, keep us informed.

Oh, i really sorry :( At least you tried it!

I saw (s)he right now and is the same size.. As TheShadyMantid said just appeared to big much bigger, but now i think tjey are similar in sizes. Can i see if they are M o F looking at the width of their abdomen? I mean in addition of counting segments. Thank you all again for your answer :)

Im feeding them till their abdomen is full, they always have food on their enclosure and the same temp so it could be (s)he is a fast grower or is just one molt bigger and it changes a lot their size. The new molted one has something like shoulders so i think it could be a subadult?

What a cutie!

Wow, nice mantis and pics!!
